Publisher THQ officially confirmed a net loss of $55.9 million for Q3 ended December 31, 2011. At the same time, the company announced that Saints Row: The Third shipped 3.6 million units during the quarter. According to the publisher, the title was "the largest owned-IP launch in THQ's history."

4A Games' horror themed shooter Metro: Last Light won't be released this year, but rather in 2013, THQ uncovered today. This means that the game will be released along side Tomonobu Itagaki's "Devil's Third" (developed by Valhalla Studios).

In addition to those two titles, THQ laid out its release schedule for the next year and beyond, a list heavily populated with unknown and unnamed games.

THQ says it has "two unannounced core titles for release in fiscal 2013," meaning they'll be released by March 31, 2013.

After that, THQ's line-up gets even more mysterious. Coming sometime in the publisher's fiscal 2014, which runs April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014 are:

An unnamed original title from Turtle Rock Studio, the folks who helped make Left 4 Dead and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. Dark Millennium Online, the Warhammer 40,000 MMO from Vigil and Relic — a game previously rumored to have been canceled. inSANE, the horror game Volition is making with director Giullermo del Toro. Homefront 2, the shooter being made by Crytek UK, the Timesplitters dev formerly known as Free Radical Design. The unnamed original title from THQ Montreal and ex-Assassin's Creed producer Patrice Desilet.

And on top of all that(!), THQ has "four unannounced core titles for release in fiscal 2014 and beyond." They're busy.

The recognized publisher has been struggling through financial woes for quite some time, with reports of massive layoffs. Nasdaq also issued a delisting warning notice, promting THQ to regain compliance with 'the Rule' and... Wow, that 'Rule' thing of theirs sounds pretty damn serious.
